The station opened on 18 April 1864 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway. To the south was the goods yard and to the north was the signal box, which opened in 1882. It closed in 1925 and was replaced by a ground frame. The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 26 September 1949.[1][2]
